Jupp Heynckes’ side also created the record of the greatest margin of victory in the knock-out stages of the competition. Bayern defeated Sporting Lisbon 7-1 in 2009. Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 and
Bayer Leverkusen, respectively, with the same margin previously.

and the players to overcome the challenge.
While talking to a sports website, Goal.com, the tactician further added:
"Bayern were very good today, actually, they were outstanding. It's certainly possible. Bayern are capable of beating any team. Only Barcelona could be quite difficult, but even they are beatable."
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 full-back added that the Bavarians are capable of beating any team in the last eight stage and are definitely one of the contenders to lift the European crown.
He added that Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid are another side who have been in sensational form in the league as well as in Europe.
"Bayern can take them down. Today they performed outstandingly. With such performances, you can go very far," the former Borussia Dortmund right-back concluded.
The Reds will learn about their quarter-final opponents on Friday after the draws in Nyon. Apart from Bayern; Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, APOEL Nicosia, Benfica and Olympique Marseille have also booked their berth
